Gordon over America

There is no shortage of coverage of Gordon Brown in America.Nick Robinson tells us that

I've just woken to the sight of a grinning and understandably awkward Gordon Brown staring out of my hotel TV screen.


Adam Boulton is rather critical of his mode of travel

He intended instead to charter a BA jet - a decent enough plan, so long as they were available...
...which they weren't for his trip to the States. So he's had to travel in this monstrosity.


According to Andrew Porter

The Prime Minister has just praised America, American TV and thanked the country for its contribution to "culture". He temporarily looked bemused when his ABC interviewer asked how different it was being PM to a TV producer. I had almost forgotten but he did work in TV in late 70s and early 80s


Meanwhile James Forsyth says

The total lack of interest surrounding Gordon Brown’s visit to the United States is a testament to how shamefully detached from the Iraq project Britain now is.
